Tao of Poo - Keeping your sanity and your soul while raising a baby

Keeping your sanity (and your soul) while raising a baby.

Parenting is one of life's most rewarding adventures. But being a new parent is not always easy when your little 'bundle of joy' cries inconsolably, wakes up four times a night, and won't feed properly - the fantasy of motherhood can quickly collide with reality.

Author Vivian Glyck says 'when my son was first born, I often felt as though I had started on a journey without a map - I knew I had some major challenges in front of me, but I didn't know how to solve them alone'.

In 'The Tao of Poo' Vivan has created a little oasis of wisdom and calm for new mums. First-time mums soon discover that having a baby involves a lot of letting go, especially in the early days as you adjust to life with your litte one: letting go of white linen shirts, a spontaneous social life, leisurely Saturday morning breakfasts in cafes, not to mention uninterrupted sleep! And then there is the seemingly endless flow of dirty nappies......

Containing helpful advice on not comparing yourself to other mums, learning to lose control, embracing boredom, forgiving and forgetting and how to keep yourself sane, 'The Tao of Poo' is a humorous, honest and passionate book that will help parents get through the tough times and take delight in their lives as they are now.
